OAK STREET PORTLAND, OREGON 97204 Phone 226-5541 TOM McCALL GOVERNOR January 27, 1971 LLOYD G. HAMMEL, JR. Chairman The Honorable Tom McCall Governor of the State of Oregon State Capitol Salem, Oregon 97310 Dear Governor McCall: On May 24, 1967, by Executive Order No. 67-14, in response to the "Partnership for Health Act of Congress", Public Law 89-749, you appointed the Governor's Health Planning Committee. You charged the Committee with responsibility to implement Oregon's partici- pation in the partnership for health legislation. The Emergency Board in October of 1967 approved a federal grant of $72,500 to hire staff and commence work on the planning process. Subsequently, federal and state funds were appropriated in the amount of approximately $258,500 to date. In June 1970 the Governor specifically challenged the. Committee to produce the nation's first State Comprehensive Health Plan by January of 1971. Despite what has been described as "nationwide uncertainty" as to what the parameters, processes, and format of comprehensive health planning are--and we in Oregon have struggled mightily with these questions--your Committee accepted the challenge. The difficulty of the task has been exceeded only by the enormity of the charge of continuous comprehensive health planning and the variety of problems in health which cry out for attention and solution. Should we_gather all available data on all health related problems into a health inforMation system; define the problems in terms of the data and develop solutions and plans. based upon such data? Or, should we accept the health problems the people believe to exist, propose solutions, and develop plans to address those problems and solutions? The absence of any data in some fields and the very skimpy and often- times unusable data in other areas of concern militated againgt an affirmative answer to the first question. The lack of objectivity and the general absence of scientific analysis implicit in a' positive answer to the second question cautioned the Committee against that as an ideal approach. However, your Committee chose the practical rather than the end- lessly idealistic in developing its solution.We chose to have confidence in a strongly "consumer oriented" and "grass roots" approach to the development of the Comprehensive Health Plan. We asked the people what they thought were the health problems in their area of the state. We fashioned the Plan toward solutions to those problems. The Plan is not complete. It will never be complete. The Plan is not up to date. It will never be up to date. Because the health needs and problems are dynamic, the Plan cannot be static. Because the health needs and problems ar.: changing, the data collected to describe them is continuously evolving: Your Committee submits this Comprehensive Health Plan for the State of Oregon as a viable document. The Plan represents the contributionsof hundreds of consumers, voluntary health associations, health professionals, public health and welfare agencies, health institutions, health insurance carriers, and a highly dedicated and professional staff which has worked tirelessly in preparing this document for publication. Your Committee is convinced that having distilled so much informa- tion and thought into this organized Plan for attacking selected health problems, that the job of planning comprehensively has truly begun. Now is not the time to relax or lessen the state's efforts. We urge your strongest support for increased effort and commitment on the part of the state to coordinate the implementation of the many recommendations included in the Plan. The Plan must continue to be objective in coordinating the health activities of not only state agencies, but those of the private and voluntary sectors as well. It is imperative that this continuous planning process be kept free of entanglements with state agencies involved in health services and responsibilities. In preparing the Plan we are indebted to a great many individuals, institutions, and associations who have assisted by submitting drafts of material and expressions of opinions. They have given unselfishly of their time and talent. While those whose names are enumerated hereinafter should bear no responsibility for statements or recommenda tions included in the Plan, without their contribution the staff and the Advisory Council would have been unable to produce this Plan. 4011!
